San Antonians were lining up at the pumps to take advantage of gas prices that had fallen below $2 a gallon.

“Oh yeah, look at that, that’s awesome,” said Connie Acuna, filling up her Toyota Corolla for $16.60 — about $10 less than usual.

A handful of stations across North San Antonio posted prices below $2 a gallon for regular gas. GasBuddy.com reported that as of Monday evening, the lowest price in the city was $1.93 at a Quick Trip on Bandera in Leon Valley.

News of the best gas deals spread quickly Monday, and lines began building throughout the day at membership discount vendors, including the Costco at UTSA Boulevard and Interstate 10 and the Sam’s Club at Interstate 35 North and Judson Road, which were both selling regular gas for $1.94.

Acuna had filled up at the Quick Trip earlier in the day, when the price was $1.96 a gallon and cars were lined up three and four deep.

The plunge in prices was fueled by a flood of petroleum in the global markets.
